easily explained. Her husband had sued for
divorce, basing his action upon allegations
OF shameful infidelity. The doctor was to
be the principal witness against the woman

Upon the simple principle of standing by
her sex the housekeeper consented to
play her part in the way that has
been narrated. This woman, taxed
with her completely, confessed, and the story
went around. The doctor was about to
prosecute Mrs. B., when the housekeeper,
py whose testimony alone the conspiracy
could be fully proved, suddenly disappeared,
and was not afterwards heard of. She was
last seen walking along the river bank at
dusk with two men, one of them Mrs. B. S

Here, it will be noted, there were not only
several witnesses to the correctness of the

THE LOST DIAMOND PIN.
Some years ago a gentleman prominent
IN business circles in this city took his wife
out for an evening sleigh-ride on the down
river road. At one of the wayside houses
below South Side they stopped and left the
sielgh Tor little time, hitching the horse to
post IN front of the house. When they
reached home some hours after this the gen
tleman discovered that he had lost a valua-
bic diamond pin from his shirt-front. Two
hours after they had retired to bed the wife

his diamond pin. He was sleepy and unin-

from lunacy as any ordinary mortals.
VERY STRANGE.
In a small machine shop in this city
worked a father and his son. the latter being
dear. w hen they were in different parts of
the room, with their backs toward each
other, and without the interchange of a
word or look, the son would leave his
work and carry to his father some tool that
the latter suddenly wanted or start fire in
the little forge, or do some other service that
became necessary at the moment in the
fathers work. In short, it was not neces-
sary to call the son when his father needed
him, but no sooner was the wish or idea of
help formed in the fathers mind than the
son was at hand in response. Neither of
these people made any pretense of spiritual
medlumship or magnetic power.
THE FINDING OF THE FORBIDDEN LETTER.
A young lady of 20, who possesses
the well-known gift of finding hidden OBJ
]ects by taking the hand of the person who
hides them, was entertaining four or five
evening visitors at her house on Clark
street short time ago by practicing her
gift. One after another, the visitors hid
some small article, and the young lady,
holding the hand of the hider, was unerring-
ly lmpelled straight to the hidden object.
At last it came in turn for miss of
II to hide something. Slipping ring
from her finger, she placed it inside the top
OF her shoe, and the young lady advanced
and took her hand. AT this instance deep

Her mother was present, and, thinking
that the daughters conduct was in
bad taste, peremptorily ordered that the ex-
pertinent proceed. Unwillingly. the
daughter yielded, and again gave her hand.
Instantly the hand of the diviner, not going
to the place where all the others had seen
the ring hidden, drew from the girls bosom
letter. The letter was from forbidden
correspondent, and the explanation of the
affair was easy An hour or two before the
girl was nearly surprised in reading the
letter, and hastily thrust it into her bosom
She had not since had an opportunity to re-
move it. AT the instant of first taking the
OWNERS hand the thought of this letter mad
come upon her, and with it a fear that the
divining hand might go the letter and not to
the ring. She was thus unable to fix her
mind upon the ring, and the unpleasant
discovery of the letter followed as a matter
of course
RATHER FIsHY.
A gentleman of this city, man of high
intelligence and member of one of the
learned professions, has for years been in
the receipt of an income by quarterly in
stallmentS. He never fails to have a dream
about week before a quarterly payment is
due. The dream is always of fishing. but
the luck varies If he dreams of catching q
good string of fish. the payment then coming
due is paid with reasonable promptneSs; if
the string be made up of big white bass
however, he receives his money ON the
minute. If it is a small string of Indifferent
fish he knows that the coming payment will
be delayed. For a dozen years this portent
never once failed in correctness.
THE BLACK HORSE IN A DREAM
A gentleman in neighboring city, hay
ing sum OF money to pay, arranged with
the collector to leave the cash at a certain
place. He did so leave it, aud then dis
missed the matter from his mind. Six weeks
afterward he dreamed one night of a black
horse upon the hills TO the west of his house.
He went to the CITY as usual next day, and
no trouble came to him, but when he reached
home at night he found notice of suit for
the money he had long before left for the
collector. In the morning he started for the
office of the nearest magistrate to attend to
the suit. This magistrate was n mile north
from the gentleman's house. There was no
suit there. The gentleman had not looked
closely at his notice, having no idea thatsuit
would be brought elsewhere than before the
magistrate he had visited. 1t turned out,
however, that the case was before a magis-
trate two miles west of the gentleman's resi-
dence, or upon the hills where in his dream
he had seen the black horse In the first
place, then he had not anticipated the
trouble at ALL Secondly, when he knew of
the suit, he took it naturally, and without
thought to be before the magistrate 10 the
north. But tina black horse appeared in the
